📋 About This Mod

===========

DESCRIPTION

===========

Cipscis' Automatic Save Manager, or CASM for short, adds configurable automatic and hotkey saving to Skyrim Special Edition.

CASM does not affect Skyrim's existing quicksave or autosave systems. It can

be used alongside them, or you can disable them and CASM can be used

By default, Skyrim keeps the 3 most recent autosaves and the 1 most recent quicksave, as well as allowing you to make manual

saves via the menu. CASM keeps a configurable number of saves (5 by

default) which can be created automatically and manually, and allows you

to quickly load the most recent of these via a hotkey.

The name of the save created will be the name of your character, followed by a

number. This means you can keep separate sets of CASM saves for separate

characters without them overriding one another, so long as these

characters do not have the same name.

Copy the scripts folder and CASM.esp into your Data folder and enable CASM.esp. If you

install through a mod manager such as the Nexus Mod Manager, this

should all be done for you automatically.

To uninstall this mod, disable CASM.esp. Scripts folder and CASM.esp may then be

removed. If you installed CASM through a mod manager such as the Nexus

Mod Manager, this should all be done for you automatically.

============

REQUIREMENTS

============

CASM requires SKSE and SkyUI. They can be downloaded here:

SKSE: http://skse.silverlock.org/

SkyUI: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604

SKSE is required for creating and loading named saves via script, and for SkyUI.

SkyUI is required so CASM can be configured in a Mod Configuration Menu.

=============

CONFIGURATION

=============

CASM can be configured via an in-game menu courtesy of SkyUI's MCM (Mod

Configuration Menu). The following options are available:

Automatic Save Options:

Enable Autosaves

Default: On

When checked, CASM will save automatically

Autosave Frequency

Default: 5 minutes

The frequency with which CASM will save automatically. (1-30 minutes)

Use Real Autosaves

Default: Off

When checked, CASM will use normal autosaves instead of creating a CASM

save. Use this option if you want the configurable autosaving but find

the slight pause caused by creating a full save too jarring. Automatic

saves created in this way will not count toward the total number of

saves maintained by CASM, and cannot be loaded via CASM's quickload

Save In Combat

Default: Off

If this option is not checked, CASM will not save a
